V. Prime and F. B. Swayze in Wreck But Are Not Injured at All At least eight people and perhaps more were killed shortly before mid night lust night when Unton Pacific trains 12 and 17 collided near Ruf us. Reports of the wreck reached Hermiston early today. No 17 is the west hound afternoon train which goes over th^ cutoff but which of late has been going through Hermiston. No 12 is the night train out of Portland for Spokane. It is opposed to reach Umatilla n t(‘about midnight, but was late on this trip on account of the bad condition of the road. Orders'Are Mistaken Reports reaching here are that the company was using only one of Its two tracks between Rufus and The Dalles and thnt through a mistake in getting the\ orders the trains mov ed on the same track when one should have stayed on the siding at Rufus. No definite report of the tfntallties had reached here when The Herald went to press. It is reported that at least eight and perhaps more have been killed and about 25 (Injured. The dead and Injured are being dug out of the wreck and taken to The Dalles. Both trains ;are said to have been derailed by the shock and the track Is now clear. The trains are re ported to have been making high speed at the time of the collision, one 25 miles pee hour and the other 55 miles per hour. Hermiston People Safe At leaBt three Hermiston people were on No. 17. They are Dr. and Mrs. F. V.l Prime and F. B. Swayze. Mr. Swayze telegraphed home this norning that all were safe and hud not been hurt, at all. So far as is known these were the only loenlipeo ple in the wreck but It Is known that thsre were some from Pendleton and other parts of the county. All will hope that the early report of the fa talities has been an exaggerated one.
